Rava puttu recipe, How to make sooji puttu

Rava puttu/ Sooji puttu is a very delicious breakfast that can be easily prepared in no time. This is a very flavorful puttu prepared by steaming ghee roasted rava. Puttu can be made with rice flour, corn, oats and even with rava which is the most delicious of all I feel. This puttu can be served with sugar or with traditional kadalai curry. Rava puttu can be served as breakfast or as snack by adding ghee roasted cashews. You can add jaggery powder instead of sugar along with cashews, which is a healthy option and very tasty as well. So lets get to the making!!

Heat a tsp ghee ina pan and add rava sooji. Roast it in low to medium flame for few minutes without changing the color. When aromatic and roasted switch off the flame.

Transfer the roasted rava/ sooji to a bowl. Now to this roasted rava/ sooji add a pinch of salt and ¼ cup water gradually. Since the mixture is hot I used a fork.

Now start mixing it to get right consistency. When you are able to hold shapes with the flour it is ready to be cooked. The flour needs to be moist without any lumps and it should look like bread crumbs. The right amount of water makes perfect puttu. Now keep this mixture aside for 15 minutes.

Meanwhile boil water in the lower portion of the puttu maker.The puttu mold has 2 parts ; disc with holes and a small lid. Place the disc inside the puttu mold then start the preparation.

Start by adding a layer of grated coconut, then add 2 fistful of rava mixture. Now again add a layer of grated coconut and add 2 fistful of rava mixture and finish it with a layer of grated coconut. When you have reached the top of the puttu maker by making layers close it with the lid.

Attach the puttu mold to the bottom vessel of puttu maker in which the water has been boiling and steam it for 10 to 12 mins. Puttu will be ready when you see steam escaping through the holes of the puttu mould lid. Now remove the puttu mold from the bottom vessel of puttu maker and gently push the puttu with a spoon or ladle. Serve the puttu with sugar or kadalai curry.
